In order to seriously welcome the morning run after his recovery, Sakakihara changed into a cool shorts tracksuit, took care of a handsome hairstyle, and put on the new sneakers that Tianhai Jiu Ruri had bought for himself before.

Before going out to tidy up, he also deliberately used the [Divination Card Box] to measure the fortune of the trip.

- It is the image of a goddess with a halo on her head, a scepter in her hand, and a holy face.

There was no word on the card face, but Sakakihara went to look through the [User Manual] again.

Article 16 of the accompanying note reads: [Both good and evil sides represent their original intentions]

The meaning of the goddess card face is interpreted as follows: good luck will happen within three days.

Even the divination card box said that he would have good luck, which more or less made Sakakihara feel a lot more comfortable.

In addition, he firmly believed that the so-called "daily system" was only an auxiliary.

Life is your own, and if you want to continue to walk while enjoying the beauty of this world, everything depends on your own subjective consciousness and behavior.

......

Step out of the apartment building and bypass the small activity area downstairs.

The rising sun peeks out among the clouds, and seabirds fly high in the blue sky.

The dense foliage casts layers of rhythmic shadows, and as the wind arrives, people can't help but lift their lungs and take a sharp breath of the cold morning air.

Even when they came out for a morning jog, there were many old ladies who greeted Tianhai Jiuliuli kindly.

Whenever he walked out of his apartment, Sakakihara would sigh, "Can this kind of place exist in Tokyo, which is heavily polluted?"

You must know that when I lived in Shinjuku more than 10 years ago, every day I went out, I could see the beautiful scenery hovering in the sky due to car exhaust pollution.

It's ironic that pollution can make a beautiful view.

"Before, I didn't see my brother go through."

Step out of the strolling area downstairs and onto the street. Tianhai Jiu Liuli winked at him

"Shoes, mean?"

"Hmm." Looking at him, Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled.

She stopped beside her, her shiny hair falling naturally, and her snow-white neck was as lovely as a spring in the forest... There is always a faint fragrance around the body.

"I believe in making the most of things, and besides, there will always be a little bit of a little bit of good shoes that I can't wear."

The latter point is important.

Of course, it is more important, because the shoes on his feet are a gift from Jiuliuli to himself.

"My brother is really frugal, but there is no need to be too frugal in the future, with the support of sufficient economic conditions, it is the right choice to be good to yourself."

"Is that what Jiu Liuli thinks?"

"Well, if my brother's clothes are worn out, even if he doesn't say anything, I'll buy him a new outfit."

These words... It's so gentle that it's hard to accept for a while.

This made Sakakihara wonder why she was so good to herself.

Qi Mingyue and Ah Ling are not like Jiu Liuli, who can express the tenderness in their hearts bluntly.

"Do you still follow the previous route?"

"Yes."

So the previous route was to start from Shirokane Takanawa, run to the coastal path, pass Keio University and Mita Station, pass through Shiba Park to Tokyo Tower, and then turn back all the way.

Tianhai Jiu neatly bent the long flaxen-colored hair draped behind his head into a ponytail.

Compared with her usually, she is less smart and cute, and more crisp and neat.

Alas, a crush.

The so-called crush is the feeling of being able to hold a pillow and keep rolling on the bed with a pillow at the thought of meeting each other and thinking of the other person's appearance.

Although Sakakihara is not so exaggerated, but when he is alone with Jiu Liuli, the vitality of a young girl will still inadvertently infect him.

Originally, it was said that after the monthly test, I would talk about love and relax my mood, but now my heart and mind are all nine glasses, how can I talk about this?!

And this is a "forbidden love".

It is an existence that will never be allowed.

If Uncle Tianhai knew that he liked her daughter, then he wouldn't be sued by his Asuka Office for eight streets?

In order to prevent this from happening in the future, you must suppress your thoughts at the root.

While stretching before running, Sakakihara kept silently reciting in his heart, trying to impose a psychological cue on himself.

Nine glaze is not good-looking.

Nine glaze is not good-looking.

Nine glaze is not good-looking......

Nine glazes do not——

Tianhai Jiu Liuli tied his hair with his hair tendons, crossed his hands and ten fingers, and raised his waist upward, and there was no place to find fault with his figure in front of him.

She exhaled, turned back to Sakakihara and smiled, "Is my brother ready?" ”

...... Nine glass is really good-looking!

If he could, Sakakihara was willing to directly pinch his mouth just now, forcibly turn his eyes to the face of Tianhai Jiu Ruri, point to that angelic face, and reprimand him angrily:

You open your eyes and take a good look! Just this angelic face! This perfect beautiful girl! And she is still affectionately calling your brother, you dare to say that she is not good-looking?!

Sakakihara Le's heart has been turbulent, and his expression has tried his best to remain unchanged.

"Of course, but Jiuliuli, you don't want to run too fast, the average pace is 4 minutes."

Average pace refers to the average time spent per kilometer.

"It's my brother who shouldn't run too fast, not long ago, I felt that my brother's physical fitness seemed to have improved a lot. Any tips? ”

Knack?

Sakakihara laughed dumbly.

It's a simple buff bonus.

"I see, it's just a long practice, right?"

“... Well, that's pretty much what it means. ”

"Let me lead the way this time, my brother can follow behind or follow my pace, don't run too fast."

Sakakihara has no objections.

Coming to the shore outside Shirokane Takanawa Station, Sakakihara Raku and Tenkai Kururi ran side by side, galloping in the early morning and salty air, and the sound of the waves on the embankment rippled with the birdsong.

Unlike running alone in the past, there is a beautiful girl on her side, listening to her steady pace, the sound of breathing step by step, the solid road under her feet seems to have turned into a lighthouse to guide the way forward.

Facing the wind, Sakakihara's hair fluttering in the wind made him feel how comfortable running was for the first time in a long time.

As the body heats up gradually. Sakakibara can feel it, I can feel it affectionately, and my body is fully enjoying the sport of running, enjoying the excitement and happiness in the breeze.

......

After 5.5 kilometers, you can see the red and white Tokyo Tower not far away.

Sakakihara stopped.

The physical strength of 8 points made him sweat a lot less than Tianhai Jiuliuli.

She walked to a drinking fountain, flipped the switch, and leaned over to drink.

"When did Jiu Liuli start running?"

"It's also early, but it's much later than my brother, and I've been running for about six years."

"What about the goal? People who run for a long time must have a goal and obsession in their hearts, which is the so-called - why they are running. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli was stunned for a long time when she heard this, she turned off the switch at the drinking place and raised her sunny face.

Instead of answering immediately, she skipped her gaze past the roses and lush trees of Shiba Park to the Tokyo Tower not far away.

"Should... It's about self-discipline – to keep a more sunny and positive mindset. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the big tree with lush foliage in the middle of the park, and then said.

"When I was a child, my father always had to teach me and Qi Mingyue a lot of things, knowledge, skills, and art. We didn't have toys, we didn't have a TV, and we rarely had any classmates who could actually play together...... This was the case before the kingdom. ”

"Uncle Tianhai is so strict? Isn't that a kind of imprisonment? ”

"Dad was strict with himself, and at the same time strict with us. My brother knows what Dad had been like before he worked, right? ”

"Yes, a master's student who graduated from the University of Tokyo."

"That should be Aunt Sakakihara or Nanagi Mingyue told my brother about it. I can't remember exactly what happened at first, but from the day I can remember, I can see my dad sitting in his study all day studying. I vividly remember that from kindergarten to elementary school, my father's identity changed from a recent college graduate to a well-known first lawyer in the industry, and it has continued until now...

"Qi Mingyue and I have high hopes from my father, he wants us to become better people than my mother, piano, violin, dance... As long as there is anything about art and culture, we have learned some of it.

"Time is arranged tightly every day, and I can often only look out the window in a daze."

Tianhai Jiuliuli's expression was normal, but he didn't seem to want to recall this time.

"In addition, when I was a child, Qi Mingyue and I liked to go to the park the most, and the only place I liked to go was my father's study.....

"I remember that there were a lot of books on it, and whenever my father saw me and Qi Mingyue coming in to look for him, he would stop what he was doing, and then reach out to the bookshelf and pick out two books for me and Qi Mingyue to read... It was also the only time we usually had time to relax. ”

"But you're so strict, Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli, it seems that you have never hated Uncle Tianhai?"

Sakakihara asked, thinking.

Perhaps Jiuliuli's insistence on running is not simply a layer of "for a more sunny and positive attitude" in it.

Rather, there is a deeper reason......

This is exactly what she thinks in her heart.

"No," Tianhai Jiu Liuli shook his head, "Dad was a little strict with us when we were young, but now Qi Mingyue and I have benefited from his strictness...... And he's been a lot more relaxed since middle school... On the one hand, we have grown up, and on the other hand, it is probably because the divorce with my mother a few years ago has made him tired a lot. ”

Yes, the divorce has a lot of harm to the two sisters, Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue.

Not only is Jiu Liuli's expression now revealed, but even Qi Mingyue doesn't seem to want to talk when she talks about her mother.

Sakakihara couldn't help but wonder what the divorce of their parents meant to the two sisters.

Is it family?

Is it the other half who has been torn apart?

So... Do they want a complete family?

According to this logic, the reason why the two sisters are not so resistant to this combined family... It seems to make perfect sense!

Well, yes.

Absolutely!

Sakakihara felt like he had entered the door to a new world.

"Jiu Liuli, what do you think of your new home?"

"Good."

Tianhai Jiu Ruri replied without hesitation, "Whether it's my brother, Suzu-chan, or Aunt Sakakihara, everyone is a very good person...... Although the days of reunion and dinner may only be once in three days, it is much better than before......

"The family also has a homely atmosphere, especially when you see my brother busy in the kitchen, and you personally serve us food, and serve the meal yourself... I often wonder, is it okay to be so happy? ”

Sakakihara smiled and said, "What's so happy about this? ”

"No, it's happiness to be able to eat fresh and delicious food made at home every day."

Tianhai Jiuliuli is unexpectedly straightforward in this regard.

Sakakihara even found the gratitude in her eyes.

This can't help but make Sakakihara a little flattered, after all, for more than ten years, except for his mother who will nagging you when giving him money, there is really nothing to be so grateful to himself because he cooks.

It's been more than ten years......

Plus she took great care of herself yesterday.

The tenderness that leaned out of her posture.

It makes people feel like they have fallen into a utopia in a dream.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

In the end, with a little sweetness in his heart, Sakakihara showed a helpless and bitter smile and whispered:

"Thank you..."

"It's Jiu Liuli, thank you, brother!"

Sakakihara Le smiled again, not looking at her, but he could already imagine the bright smile she showed to herself beside her.

The kind of girl youth with innocence, beauty and beauty.

Sakakihara breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Jiu Liuli is seeking the warmth of that family in herself, then she should continue to work hard to respond to her expectations!

After all, it's what I do best.

Have more contact with Jiu Liuli, and want to know her better, this is what Sakakihara Le is looking forward to at the moment.

Sakakihara skipped the rose bushes, looked at Tokyo Tower, and was just about to call out to Jiururi to run home.

"Sakakihara-kun!"

Suddenly, a girl from behind shouted at her and beckoned.

When Sakakihara Le turned around at the sound, Xiang Qianyu had already trotted all the way along the stone path to the front.

She was dressed in simple casual everyday clothes, her face was full of vitality, her left hand was on top, she stood on tiptoe, and said hello with a smile:

"Sakakihara-kun and Miss Amami, what a coincidence, you also come to Shiba Park for a walk? Hmm~ But judging from the clothes, it's more like a morning run. ”

Miss Xiang from the bridal shop.

Sakakihara recognized it at a glance.

No, she must have mistaken Jiuliuli for Qimingyue!

Sakakihara Le was a little anxious, except for him and Qi Mingyue in the family, only his mother knew about the wedding dress, if Miss Xiang accidentally said that she missed her mouth...

"To-"

"Ahh That's right! Xiang Qianyu took out her mobile phone and said, "The wedding photos of Sakakihara-kun and Miss Tianhai were already in the position you said before yesterday, and you can check them at any time, and my uncle put another 100,000 yen in it to thank you." ”

Sakakihara directly held back the words he was about to shout.

...... Okay, it's over.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli listened to Xiang Qianyu's introduction with a puzzled face.

looked at Sakakihara Le, and then at her:

"Wedding photos?"

"That's right! Speaking of wedding photos, Miss Tianhai, you are really, very, very, very photogenic! Putting on the wedding dress, every step, every posture, that look... It's indescribable! Great! ”

Tianhai Jiu Ruri turned his head, glanced at Sakakihara Le, who was embarrassed by his head alone, and smiled at Xiang Qianyu and said, "Can you show me the photo?" ”

"Photos? Ah~~ I still have it in my phone, Miss Tianhai must not have gotten the wedding photos to enjoy, right? No problem, then I'll show you first, it just so happens that I have it in my phone, I'll take a look..."

Tianhai Jiuliuli's head came to the mobile phone held by Xiang Qianyu, and began to watch the so-called "wedding photos" one by one.

The first photo shows Sakakihara Raku and "himself" standing on the lawn, hugging each other's waists.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli smiled beautifully.

Xiang Qianyu smiled and asked, "What do you think of Miss Tianhai?" ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't pierce it directly, but nodded and said with curiosity on his face: "Well, it's pretty good, can you let me see a few more?" ”

"No problem, no problem, and this one."

......

Little by little, time passed.

Tianhai Jiuliuli went through every photo under the introduction of Xiang Qianyu. Xiang Qianyu didn't recognize Jiu Liuli's identity at all, and only thought that she was Qi Mingyue.

"Huh? What's wrong with Sakakihara-kun, why don't you come over and take a look? ”

“...... No, I'll just go back and look at the pictures. Sakakihara Raku, who was standing at the other end and had only one back, said.

Xiang Qianyu did not doubt that he had him, and after exchanging pleasantries with Jiu Liuli for a while, he nodded goodbye.

"How do you feel that Miss Tianhai is much better talking than last time?"

Xiang Qianyu pinched her chin and thought for a while as she walked in the other direction, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper until she finally stretched out.

"Oh, what do you want to do so much! Go back to my uncle and ask for pocket money to buy clothes! ”

......

After leaving Miss Xiang.

Sakakihara was very embarrassed, and it was a little difficult to face the soft gaze of Tianhai Jiu Liuli.

"So, my brother and Qi Mingyue went to take wedding photos together without telling their family?"

“...... Yes, but this is not my request, Qi Mingyue saw that day the wedding dress couldn't walk, I was simply pulled by the way as a tool. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli jokingly covered his chest.

"Of course I know this, this is also like something that Qi Mingyue can do."

"Nine Liuli, aren't you surprised?"

"I'm surprised, it's a wedding photo after all. It's just unexpected. ”

"Why?"

"Because of my mother, Qi Mingyue has liked wedding dresses since she was a child, and she said to me more than once, 'Sister, let's go take wedding photos together';'Sister, have you considered going out with Qi Mingyue to take wedding dresses today?'."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli imitated her sister's indifferent tone.

"I didn't promise her, because it was too strange to go to the wedding photo shoot with my sister, and they were all girls. Since she can't find me, she must find a peer who is close to her, and my brother is obviously the best candidate...... Brother doesn't have that expression, and I don't blame you. ”

Jiuliuli's explanation is not complete.

According to Qi Mingyue's character, no one accompanies her, and she will definitely shoot the wedding dress alone.

Finding himself was purely for the little devil's tricks.

"But this matter is hidden from you, and in fact it is very serious."

"Those photos are art photos, aren't they? Since he is not actually married, then it is just some photos, and my brother doesn't have to care. ”

"Jiuliuli, just accept it?!"

"Accepted. But when I go back, I'm sure I'll have to talk about Qi Mingyue. ”

"Haha, let's not do it, she wants to say that I secretly told my sister again, and then ignored me."

"Again? Anything else? ”

"Nothing, just a little thing."

Tianhai Jiuliuli is not only gentle, but also very open-minded.

This made Sakakihara a somewhat dazed and unreal when facing her smiling face.

But the truth is - she is indeed in front of herself.

You can feel her breath, the aroma that comes out.

However, after what she just said.

Sakakihara also understands that she is not the real her at the moment.

Jiuliuli must be using his gentleness to hide what he needs in his heart.

——————

After that, the two ran home together.

The first thing he did when he got home after exercising was to take a shower, and Sakakihara let Jiu Liuli go into the bathroom, and he waited for her to come out in the living room before going in.

Suzu Sakakihara is still lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, and she doesn't look like a girl in a lazy state - wearing the big and terrible shirt that Sakakihara Raku was forced to give her.

The buttons were tied haphazardly, and as she raised her hand, the pink navel occasionally showed in the gap between the buttons, and the snow-white skin rose and fell regularly as she breathed.

In order to make way for Sakakihara, she lifted her feet and put them on his legs directly as Sakakiwara sat down.

Sakakihara Le stared indifferently at the stinky feet on his legs, and said emotionlessly:

"Feet."

"Oops~ let me let go and I won't die." Suzu Sakakihara watched the TV and waved his hand lazily, not even looking at him, but still took it back.

"Brother."

"Seven bright moons?"

"Well, brother, come with me." Tianhai Qimingyue, who was on the opposite sofa, took off her glasses, put down her book and got up.

"Do what?"

"Just come on."

......

Sakakihara Suzu stared at the phone screen, and happened to see the plot of the male protagonist in the TV series taking a look at the heroine's high heels: "Brother, I heard that many men are foot control?" Huh~ What a pervert, aren't you the kind of? ”

Sakakihara Suzu kicked twice and found that he didn't kick it, and when he sat up with a pillow, he found that his brother was gone.

"Huh?! What about my brother? ”
